Compensation:$50–$150/hour
Location:Remote

Role Responsibilities

  • Review AI-agent attempts at realistic CDI/coding tasks. Judge whether each disposition is correct and adequately supported by the record.
  • Confirm work is completed and recorded. Ensure codes are changed, queries sent, holds placed, DRG recomputed, and notes and CDI reviews filed.
  • Identify fabricated or overstated work. Verify cited labs, documents, or prior encounters exist. Confirm provider responses and DRG or dollar figures are produced by the grouper.
  • Judge completeness and apply the right action to the right chart. Require verify-before-finalize for code fix, query, clinical-validation query, or leave-alone decisions.
  • Write clear, specific agree/disagree rationales on each attempt.

Qualifications

Must-Have

  • 2+ years of professional experience in inpatient hospital CDI, inpatient DRG coding/auditing, or clinical-documentation denial management.
  • Current or recent hands-on work under ICD-10-CM/PCS and MS-DRGs.
  • Reflexive professional judgment. Ability to spot unsupported diagnoses, leading queries, missed CC/MCCs, or rubber-stamped accounts.
  • CCDS, CDIP, CCS, RHIA/RHIT, or RN with CDI experience (or equivalent). Hospital, coding, or HIM background.
  • Comfort working inside CAC/CDI software and reading the full clinical record, including H&Ps, consults, progress notes, discharge summaries, labs, and flowsheets.
